Success with hardy geraniums

Hardy geraniums are undemanding plants to grow that don’t require feeding. The short forms need a well-drained sunny position. Cut down repeat-flowering geraniums in late summer. They’ll flower again four weeks later. Veined petals guide bees to nectar.

Even sterile hybrids are bee friendly. Best time to divide is early spring.
